This game had come up on my radar a couple of times in the past, but I avoided it for different reasons. My loss as it happens.
There are two types of stories—one that keeps you interested and one that doesn't. This game's story is of the former type. I'm not exactly sure what makes this story work—it has good characters, intrigue, and a lighthearted setting, but above all, the author just knows his craft, I guess. He knows how to keep readers interested in going forward and wanting more.
I'm normally a "game mechanics first" kind of player. So I had never expected I would be slapping a solid 5 stars on a game that does not prioritize them above all, but this game, it's just that good.
